CORRECTION- NOT banded, sleeved =)

Hey there thinoneday, I am not having here in SA, I looked into it and I simply couldn't afford it here. I do a lot of research and will be going to Mexico for my surgery (I will not offer where since there is a lot of scrutiny over some physician's there). But being in the medical field I obviously have a particular level of expectation...everyone does! My BMI is 38 so my insurance technically doesn't offer coverage, either I need to have a heart attack or gain 20 lbs...neither sounds appealing to me How is it going for you? I see you were recently banded, how are you doing? It would be great to stay in touch, especially because we are here together

Awww, thanks everyone for your comments! My husband totally supports me, although he doesn't get why, and he won't because he's never walked in MY shoes. I am miserable, tired and not happy. It seems strange and foreign to think that could ALL change in ONE month. Almost seems surreal....I just really can't imagine what a change this will be for me, I see what it has done for so many, and only hope I can join. Only one of my friends supports me in this decision and that makes it a bit hard! I am glad I have you all...out there!!!
